The Man of Steel is back, and a new, full-length trailer for James Gunn‘s highly anticipated Superman movie has just been released, intensifying the excitement for its upcoming theatrical debut. This latest look provides an even deeper dive into the film’s tone, characters and the conflicts Clark Kent (David Corenswet) will face.
The trailer showcases a dynamic portrayal of Clark Kent as he navigates his dual life: a budding journalist at the Daily Planet in Metropolis and the world’s beacon of hope, Superman. Viewers get a clearer sense of the film’s blend of epic action, humor, and heart, with Gunn’s signature style evident throughout. The footage highlights Clark’s struggle to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing, and his evolving relationship with Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), who is seen engaging in a “borderline interrogating” interview about his Superman activities.
A key focus of this new trailer is the prominent appearance of Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), strongly indicating he will be a primary antagonist. The trailer also provides glimpses of other DC characters set to appear, including Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi) and Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan), hinting at a broader DC Universe.
Superman is poised to kickstart the theatrical side of James Gunn’s DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. It is set to soar into theaters globally on July 11, 2025.
